Two chopsticks laid either side of the block stop the knife going all the way through. That's the whole trick — cut down to them, as thin as you can manage, and you get a fan that holds together while opening up an enormous amount of surface.
Then brush the marinade into each cut individually before the block goes into the container. Poured over the outside it never reaches the gaps, and the gaps are the entire reason for cutting it this way.
An hour of marinating is the minimum and longer is plainly better. Keep the leftover marinade — thickened with a teaspoon of cornstarch it becomes the sauce, and it freezes for next time. Fifty-five minutes, 55 g of protein.
